KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Detectives with the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department have identified five suspects in a shooting at a Midtown business in early October.
On Friday, KCPD confirmed with KCTV that three juveniles and two adults were involved in an Oct. 9 shooting on Westport Road.

A KCPD spokesperson told KCTV earlier this month of the five people injured in the shooting, three had critical injuries and two others had serious injuries.
